You realise that what you are claiming is only defeating your own argument? Some of those Poles, Zmarzlik for example, are blessed with abundant talent. You're suggesting they don't focus on fitness as much as messrs Woffinden, Doyle, Hancock and that's your argument for saying fitness isn't important? Hmmm.. Let me just look at how many World Titles they've won.....

So you're saying they don't work on their fitness as much as say Doyle, Woffinden, Hancock etc?

Bless. You do realise that most, if not all, the other GP riders also take their fitness very seriously? I'd also disagree he is one of the 'worst' gaters. Keep arguing about scientific facts Dean, you just make yourself look silly.

So you keep claiming... but there they are, the top guys, all concentrating massively on their fitness. There are many examples of folks who weren't into being fit.. and were amazed at how much better they felt both physically and mentally once they actually committed. Then of course there are the others who can't be bothered and come up with all sorts of excuses to not put that extra effort.. you don't hear as much about them though as they're not winning very often.

You're so out of your depth on this topic it's staggering. You're adding 2+2 and coming up with 9 to fit your argument. The majority of the top boys take fitness very seriously. Is it the be all and end all? Of course it isn't yet you seem to have got it into your head that is what people are saying. However, don't bother with that side of it and you have a piece missing from the puzzle. Doyle is completely the wrong example to use as it was only when he did get serious that he suddenly elevated himself into the top echelon. You rightly keep talking about the mental side of it whilst remaining completely oblivious to the reality that being physically fit vastly boosts your confidence.

It is all part of the package and contributes towards your head being 100%.

Well Woffinden did.

They wouldn't be in the slightest, just a way for you to have a little dig...

Ah Workington... Craig Cook... No bias there is there.

Cook was on a warning. Quite simply, why run the risk? Also the plan was always to give Cook a ride, then Lambert one. Lambert did better. Later in the meeting it could have backfired tremendously putting a cold Cook back in when qualification wasn't certain.

No I wasn't, so as such I am in a much better position to give an opinion. You saw things once, in real time, I saw them several times, in slow motion. Well done for ruining your own argument.. not that you had one. We understand. You're a bitter Belle Vue fan, still seething over losing the league in 2016. That's all there is to it.

Your entire post is utter nonsense. The very fact you seem to think you have the ability to mind read shows that. You don't 'see' a thought process at all. You just see someone standing there looking at a table... trying to class that as action shows the frailty of your argument. You then really lose the plot and fly into some fantasy realm. Who has said that people are turning away from snooker and rugby and flocking to speedway? Nobody. When you have to 'create' something to get your argument to suit it shows the fragility of it in the first place. Cricket and Baseball are two other sports with massive periods of downtime compared to actual action. It doesn't cause a problem. I don't need to 'prove' anything, there are countless other sports with lots of downtime. You're trying to take one issue and make believe that is the root cause of all of speedways problems. It isn't.

Telling it like it is is quite simple. Woffinden rode superbly and team rode at every available opportunity, more so than every other rider on show in either semi-final. Telling it like it is, Cook is out of form, fluffed his first ride and was on a warning and was quite right replaced by Lambert. Telling it like it is, you're a very bitter individual with an anti-Woffinden agenda making himself look a numpty.

Yes, it was pathetic of him to do nothing, as the senior rider in the partnership, to help his team mate. And yes, it was pathetic of him to blast of and win the race as it meant nothing other than personal glory and guaranteed his team being eliminated. If you don't understand that basic concept, little point discussing with you.

It's called conversation/debate.

Aww diddums. Is that the best Woffy bashing you can come up with tonight?

His team didn't win the race, they lost it, as his TEAM came last and he did nothing to help his TEAM.

Sorry, but again, that is pathetic from Milik. Ridiculous of Tatum to say he fully deserved the round of applause. At least try and slow the Aussies up a bit.

Ridiculous.

I think the French had a better chance, can't see Franc being quick enough to stay ahead even if he got there.. especially as he's likely to receive zero help from Milik.. whereas both the French had some speed. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Lucky for the Czechs there. Milik not a clue, did nothing to help his partner at all.

And perhaps the lesser teams got more dialled in.

Very sensible interview from Woffinden.. and pretty much shows he was right to what he did all along. GB has a bright future.

Poor 1st half but 2nd half of the meeting has been fantastic... and the lesser nations have been very much part of it. Great riding from Woffinden and Lambert there. Lambert did superbly to keep Lindgren back for as long as he did.

Seems that way.
